Abstract
This study investigates the effect of the blade number of rim-driven thruster (RDT) on the hydrodynamic performance of RDT. Numerical investigation is performed to compare the thrust coefficient and efficiency of the RDT with various blade numbers. The results show that the thrust coefficient of the RDT increases and the efficiency of the RDT decreases with the number of blades increasing.
